PREFACE. 



When reading an extensive history, it is often a great help to be 
able to view the particular events in their general relations. As, 
when traveling in a city, for instance, one appreciates much better 
the location and importance of a particular structure by going to its 
top and obtaining a bird's eye view of its surroundings, so, when 
down in the details of an important event of history, it broadens, 
corrects and helps to fix on the memory, the character and time of 
that event, to refer to a clear outline of the whole history. 

These Outlines are intended for this purpose solely. They are 
not to be memorized; they are to help the intelligence, and thus 
to aid the memory. 

They are the class-work of a teacher who earnestly desired to 
free the delightful subject of history from the deadness of chrono- 
logical memorizing. They were first presented and tested nearly 
ten years ago. Hundreds of my pupils have them in their earlier 
form in manuscript. With succeeding years, and continued investi- 
gation and practical testing, they have at last reached their pres- 
ent form. 

May the hope that they will be useful not be vain, is the only 
wish of R. HEBER HOLBROOK.

UNITED STATES HISTORY OUTLINES. 



CHAPTER I. 

THE THREE GREAT ERAS AND NINE GREAT PERIODS. 

Nowhere in the records of all time is the "evolution of history" so 
manifest as in the annals of the rise and progress of the United States. 

This is due to the fact that the records are complete. There is no 
other instance of a nation being born and growing to manly stature iu 
the broad daylight of civilization. 

There is, therefore, no history which presents so completely the 
whole, and so distinctly the parts, of the growth of a nation as the his- 
tory of our own United States. 

First "Era — Origination. 

Viewing our nation, as a whole, it exhibits three great and simple 
phases, each of which is naturally viewed in three developmental as- 
pects. That out of which the nation was to be formed had to be 
placed, accumulated, co-related and concentered. The 

First Period. Explorations. 

A place for the nation had to be found. The old Continent was not 
broad enough. 

While the Scandinavians undoubtedly discovered the New World, 
their failure to appropriate it makes their discovery a matter of slight 
importance, and only throws into bolder relief the grandeur of the 
enterprise of Columbus, and fixes upon him the glory of finding a 
TOW JTt) for a nation. 

It is remarkable that while it took a whole century to place upon 
the discovered Continent two Colonies, it required only two more cen- 
turies for those Colonies to grow to a "peer among nations." 

This period naturally closes with the founding of the first permanent 
English settlement at Jamestown, 1606. 

(1) 



[2] 

Second Period. Colonization. 

The country having been sufTiciently explored, the next step was to 
populate it. The ground being prepared, the seed must be sown. The 
quality of this seed is of the utmost importance. The character of 
these first settlers, and the motives with which they came, foretell the 
whole story of the nation. 

The French are, to-day, what Caesar reported them to be two thou- 
sand years ago. So the Germans. North, South, East and West, in 
this country, are just what the settlers of those regions were two hun- 
dred years ago. The lesson is plain and most impressive. 

The distinctive character given the history of the Colonies, by the 
four intercolonial wars, fixes a decided limit to the period. 

Third Period. Consolidation. 

While the Colonies were established independently of one another, 
and were widely separated by vast wildernesses, and still more widely 
by their own selfish interests, their common enemies, the Indians and 
George III., were sufficient \.o force them together, and to establish in- 
dissoluble union between what would otherwise have been very inco- 
herent elements. 

In fighting for England the Colonies learned to fight against Eng- 
land. The intercolonial wars trained them to that skill in warfare and 
statesmanship which soon was more than a matsh for the strongest and 
wisest nation on the earth. 

The first Continental Congress, which provided for the meeting of 
the second Continental Congress, whose acts were national, and whose 
sessions have continued till to-day, marks the consummation of the 
various centripetal tendencies of this Period and Era. 

Second Era — Nationalization. 

The materials and circumstances are now provided for the formation 
of a nation. The process is most interesting, and shown in the three 
epochs of Separation, Organization, and A'ationalization. 

Fourth Period. Separation. 

First it was necessary that all relations of dependence upon the 
mother nation should be severed. This could not be done without 
immediate provocation and opportunity. 

George III. hastened to furnish the one, the Colonists promptly 
made the other. 



[3] 

The separation was affirmed, maintained, and at last assented to by 
all civilized nations.. 

Fifth Period. Organization. 

Having swung loose from all higher authorities, the Colonies were 
compelled to provide government for themselves, and, having expe- 
rienced the blessings of union in adversity, they clearly saw that in 
union was their only prosperity. 

This period is one of the most interesting in our whole history, and 
by the intelligent patriot will be dwelt upon most earnestly. It of 
course closes with the adoption of our present Constitution. 

Sixth Period. Federalization. 

It was one thing to declare independence ; another to maintain it. 
So it was an important matter to organize a government, but it was a 
much greater matter to popularize it ; to create and develop a national 
sentiment which, when voiced in the memorable words, "The Union, 
now and for ever, one and inseparable!" found an echo in the patriotic 
hearts of every home. It must be remembered that the Colonies, proud 
of their independent origin, and more or less jealous of one an ■>ther, 
made with great reluctance the surrender of the State sovercigntj nec- 
essary to a self-sustaining Union. 

Although they at last adopted the Federal Constitution, that inhtru- 
ment had to be administered with the utmost delicacy and caution, lest 
some irritated State should of itself break the yet feeble bonds which 
held it in the Upion. 

To establish this sentiment, to strengthen these bonds, to weld iico 
impregnable union these inharmonious elements, was the mission of 
the Federal party. So well did it accomplish it that the opposition, 
upon coming in power, forced by public opinion, pretended so vocifer- 
ously to be the friends of the Constitution as to cause the Federalists, 
ils founders, to appear, by contrast, its enemies.* 

One step more to strengthen the Union had to be taken. As in 
the adoption of the Constitution itself liberty was sacrificed, so again, 
in the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the rights of mankind were made 
secondary to theUnion. 

Following this, the Slave Power enjoyed a sway so unresisted,! the 

question of disunion, which could only arise from their defeat, was not 

raised until the sentiment of federalization had so taken root as to 

*Von Hoist. Con. Hist. U. S. I. pp. 65, et seq. Hild. V. p. 418. 
•fWilson's Rise and Fall of the Slave Power. I. p. 165. 



compel Jackson to disregard the States Right views of his own party 
and coerce rebelling Soulli Carolina in 1832. 

This Compromise was followed by the "era of good feeling" of 
Monroe's Administration, and by many other events, which indicate 
the close of this and the beginning of the new era. 

All the old regular parties were apparently dissolved during Mon- 
roe's time. 

In Adams' Administration the present Democratic party took its 
name and character. 

Then also arose the National Republicans, the precursors of the 
Whigs, t 

In 1826, Mr. Miner, of Pennsylvania, introduced a resolution, which 
was the first of a national character looking to the reformation of the 
Government. § 

In 1828, the Tariff Question became a national one. 

In 1829, Benj. Lundy visited Wm. Lloyd Garrison and induced him 
to begin his career as an agitator, by becoming the editor of " T/ie 
Genius of Universal Emancipation.'''' 

While these events seem rather to indicate the beginning of the next 
era, I am unwilling to class the Administration of John Quincy Adams 
with those which follow. It was totally different from them in spirit, 
principle and practice. It was a fit conclusion of the "Golden Age" 
of our Government. 

On the other hand, the methods employed by Jackson in his candi- 
dacy for the Presidency with his demoralization of our civil service, || 
stamped upon our politics a character diametrically opposite to that of 
preceding Administrations, and as disastrous as it was different. 

I therefore close the Second Great Era with the Administration of 
John Quincy Adams. 

The Third Era — Reformation. 

The Union being no longer a question; the nation being sufficiently 
consolidated to stand, whatever else might fall ; the States being so 
firmly welded as to be able to withstand any wrenching, however 
severe, the exciting era of Reformation is begun. 

Our forefathers, who were practical men, com])romised with slavery 

again and again, when attempting to unite the Colonies. This was 

unavoidable. No Union could have been effected otherwise. The 

Union was the important issue.

[5] 

Yet it is wonderful how, in these concessions to slavery, practices were 
permitted without any sacrifice of the written principles of liberty in 
the Constitution. It is still more wonderful that these written prin- 
ciples more and more assert themselves, and survive the practices which 
were so inconsistent with them, and were winked at for a time. 

Seventh Period. Agitation. 

The particulars of this period will appear in the extended outlines. 
Its terminus falls naturally at the beginning of the Civil War, toward 
which, as an effect, all its leading events were contributing causes. 

Eighth Period. £r>mncipatiofi. 

Though not so expected or intended by either party, the war became 
a struggle for emancipation. The "current of events" was stronger 
than the wills of men. 

The only material result of the war was emancipation. 

Ninth Period. Reorganisation. 

During the great era of Nationalization the body-politic was set- 
ting the bone and fixing the fiber — was being toned up preparatory 
to undergoing the sickness of Agitation and the surgical operation of 
Etnancipation. It is now passing through a hopeful convalesence of 
Reorgattization . 

All intelligent persons, North and South, are agreed that slavery was 
a dark spot upon the record of our nation. Our forefathers. North 
and South, especially in the South, deprecated it sincerely and repeat- 
edly. Washington and Jefferson, both Southerners, freed their slaves. 
The earliest Abolition Societies were formed in Slave States. f 

But as it began and continued to be an issue, the South naturally 
arrayed itself in its defense. At last, the struggle came between Slavery 
and the Union. The Union survives. 

Whatever we may have suffered, all must rejoice at the result — the 
South even more than the North — for now, relieved of this incubus 
upon her commerce and industries; possessed of all her advantages of 
seaboard, commerce, and fertility of soil, she can soon rival the North 
in a peaceful prosperity — a rivalry which slavery alone made unequal.

CHAPTER II. 

INTRODUCTORY TO THE TWENTY-SEVEN GREAT EPOCHS. 

In Chapter I., and Outline No. i, was presented a quick, but total, 
bird's-eye view of our nation's history. 

Let us again place ourselves in the same position, and make another 
turvey of the whole ground, and mark out a few more of its salient 
features. 

As we traced out, then, the three Great Eras, and subdivided them 
each into three Great Periods, let us now examine more closely these 
Periods, and discover the three Great Epochs, which each one of them 
presents — and so note the twenty-seven great mountain ranges, the gram! 
peaks only of which we before recognized. 

This will complete another survey — no broader than the first, but a 
little deeper — and will answer for the map study, which it is always 
wise to give a territory, preparatory to traveling over it. 

Let it be understood, though, that the memory is not to be burdeneii 
with these features marked out, but that we are to have the map itself 
continually with us for ready reference; and that whatever is used frc 
quently enough to be impressed upon our memory, ///a/ we will remem- 
ber — no more. 

The teacher is particularly cautioned against requiring pupils to 
memorize these lifeless bones of outlines. They are intended for refer- 
ence only. The intelligent study of the history, with them as guides, 
will bring out their significance and value, and so sufficiently fasten 
them on the mind. This may be facilitated by occasional oral reviews 
or retrospects.

the bill shall be entered on the journal of each house respectively. If 
any bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sundays

Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a 
question of adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the 
United States; and before the same shall take effect, shall be approved

THE COUNTRY TEACHER SERVED AT LAST. 



A NEW WORK. 



PRICl^ »1.85. 



This work is not the fine-spun theory of a College professor, hatched 
in the quiet of his study room, but the practical ideas of a country 
teacher, fresh from the country school-room. 

It is not a mass of •' glittering generalities," but suggestions in detail 
as to how to teach and manage an ungraded school, drawn from long 
experience and observations of one who has boen there himself. 

1. It tells how the teacher should conduct himself in relation to his 
patrons and to society in general. 

2. It tells what qualifications are necessary for a good teacher. 

3. It tells how to aj^ply for a school. 

4. It describes in detail the most approved and applicable methods 
of teaching all the branches studied in a country schoi.l. 

5. It gives some very practical hints about apparatus and school 
architecture. Every country teacher sliould have it. 

It is a work devoid of everytliing foreign to the subject. The only 
work ever published that meets the needs of country teachers. 

Kcnuinbir that it is the voik of a cotottry teacher. 

Every teacher who is disgusted with the " fine-spun " theories given 
in most books on Methods of Teaching, is sure to be intensely delighted 
with this book. 

Teachers (and they are numbered by the legion), who have searched 
in vain through a score or more of books on teaching, for something //«f- 
iualio^ their country schools, should give this book a trial. 

Jntensc/y Interesting, Tlioroughly Practical, Emiiuntl/ Adapted to the 
Country Schools. 

We have no hesitancy in saying that the teacher who would make the 
most of his school, must have this book. 

We are acquainted with all the teacher's works published in both 
Europe and America, and we can confidently say that this is tlie most 
practieal wor^ for the Country Teacher ihzi has ever been issued >'rom the 
press. The book is meeting with a great sale. 

Send for a copy at once. i. It will give you new ins.gnt into your 
work. 2. It will lead you to see and realize more pleasure and happi- 
ness in your work than you have ever been able to get out of it before. 
3. It will give you the essential princij^los of practical teaching. 4. It 
will tell you just what to do and how to do it, so that you make the most 
of your work, 

AGENTS WANTED. 

You should order a copy by return mail. — Please write for terms.

OF THE 

Common School Branches, 

DESIGNED AS AN AID TO TEACHERS AND PUPILS IN THE 

METHOD OF TEACHING AND STUDYING BY TOPICS. 

BY G. DALLAS IJND. 

Author of Methods of Teaching in Country Schools, 



PRICE, $i.oo. 



A VALUABLE BOOK FOK TEACHERS AND PUPILS 

Should be Introduced into Every School in the Land. 

The Topic Method of instruction is fast coming into general use. The 
'• old rote plan " is dying out. The text-book which is made up of ques- 
tions and answers, and the teacher wlio merely asks these questions and 
expects the pupils to answer them in the language of the book, are both 
to be left far behind in this age of progress. It is the true province of 
the teacher to direct and infuse life and enthusiasm into the recitations, 
and the province of the pnp-1 to investigate books and nature, and be 
able to give, in his own language, a full and correct report of his inves- 
tigations. The pupil, thus, during the time of recitation, takes the place 
of teacher, and by teaching he fixes wliat he has learned by study. 

This principle in teaching is as old as Socrates, for it was the plan he 
pursued. Jacotot and Montaigne, educators who lived in the days of 
Queen Elizabeth, strongly advocated this principle in teaching, and all 
the prominent educators from that time to the present h-,ve practiced it, 
but strange to say, the great majority of teachers still pursue a dead, dull 
routine of hearing pupils recite answers which they have committed to 
memory, or spend the time in lecturing to pupils while the latter merely 
listen and praise the wonderful genius of the teacher.^ 

This little book is designed to lift pupils and teachers out of these 
ruts by directing the studies of the pupils and stimulating them to in- 
vestigation, and pointing out to the teacher the true plan of conducting 
a recitation. 

The book contains an outline of a lesson for each day of a three 
month's term in each of the following branches, viz : Arithmetic, Geog- 
raphy, Grammar, United States History and Physiology, to which is 
added a list of examples for drill in the principles of Elocution, arranged 
under appropriate heads, and a list of test words in Spelling, and other 
miscellaneous matter of value. 

In connection with the outlines are given references to the best text- 
books in use and also to many larger works on the subjects and to many 
works of a miscellaneous nature, which are found in libraries, both 
public and private. This is one of the valuable features of the work. 
It will lead the pupil out into the living pastures of knowledge and stim- 
ulate within him a desire to search further for truth. 

By the use of this book different members of the class may have 
different authors. No need of a uniformitv in text-books except in Readers.

SOMETHING NEW. 

GRlMim MADE UTTIIe AND INIERESIIISG. 

UWcc Up Yoiir Dull Graviviar Class by Using 

THE "NORMAL lEACHER'TARSIXG BOOK 

This little book contains forty-eight blank pages ruled and arranged 
for WriiUn Parsing Lessons, and several pages reading matter, consisting 
of Programmes and models for parsing every part of speech, and for the 
analysis of sentences. Rules for distmguishing the different parts of 
speech in difticult cases, an explanation of the construction of Infinitives 
and Participles and the Relative Pronoun. In short, a showing up, in 
convenient form, of the difficult points in Grammar besides the rules of 
Syntax, explanations and models fcr diagraming sentences, and other 
matter, all of wliich every teacher who knows anything about teaching 
Grammar, will recognize at once as the most convenient thing imagin- 
able to have in connection with the exercise book for use in the prepara- 
tion of lessons. No one but the live teacher of Grammar knows the time 
and labor required in jiutling these forms and models on the board from 
day to day. 'I'he book is by no means a treatise on Grammar, but is 
simply matter arranged for the convenience of the pupil and to save the 
time of the Teacher. Ncm-.-il Teachers will want this little book in their 
schools at once, ar.d all who have had, or are having trouble in teaching 
Grammar would do well to adopt it also. It ought to be in use in every 
Grammar class in the land. "VVhy? 

1. Because by its use you can secure regularity and order in the pre- 
paration of parsing lessons- and steer clear of the olil haphazard, hit or 
miss style of recitation which makes Grammar "so dull and uninteresting.'' 

2. It cultivates systematic habits, is a drill in punctuation, penman- 
ship and neatness, and gives pupils something to do, 

3. The use of written lessons gives great life and interest to the reci- 
tation through the comparisons, criticisms, etc. 

4. By having the exercises corrected each day where mistakes have 
been made, the pupil has his work preserved to him in permanent form, 

or future reference. 

5. Good teachers do not pretend to teach parsing, analysis, etc., in 
any other way than by the use of written lessons, to avoid waste of time, 
secure promptness and certainly of preparation. And all will prefer the 
parsing book from the fact that it is sold far cheajjcr than the blank 
paper can be bought at book stores. When these points are taken into 
consideration all must favor the immediate adoption of the book. Retail

Prof. ITnlbrnok has in this little work done every thoughtful Christian, every 
student and teacher of the New Testamoi t a most invaluable service in givine to the 
events of the life of Christ, as narrated in the four gospels, such orderly and systematic 
arrangement as will make its study a now delight. The author of this work is famous 
for his power of "outlining," that is, of penetrating complex and abtruse subjects with 
keen , masterly acumen, seizing upou the controlling threads of connection and presenting 
them distinctly and logically to the ordinary reader. In this work, each event is not 
only placed in its proper order but the place at which it occurred and reference to the 
chdpter and verse in which it is mentioned. A thorough index helps to make it in- 
stantly available. 



Easy Experiments in Chemistet and Philosophy. By G. Dallas Lind, author of 
" Method of Teaching in Country Schools," and "Normal Outlines of the Common 
School Branches." Price, 4U tents. 

This book is the result of many years of study in the laboratory with the end in view 
of (providing cheap modes of illustrating the more important principles of the Sciences 
of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy. The manuscript has been put to a practical test 
by classes in the Central Normal College, the students manufacturing the apparatus 
and performing the experiments according to the instructions here given. Having 
stood the test of actual use in the class-room it is evident that no higher praise is 
needed. Write for terms and full particulars.

A NEW FEATURE. 

We have recently opened a department especially devoted to the preparation of 
teachers for license. In this department will be published suggestive questions and 
answers, courses of study for thoHO who desire to prepare themselves for examination, 
plans and methods of review, hints in regard to preparation of manuscripts, and sug- 
gestions to be observed during examinations. 

We shall make this department alone worth many times the subscription price to 
any teacher who expects to go before an examiner. 

The following complimentary notices will show something of its reception hy the 
teaching public, 

" Normal Teacher" edited and published at Danville, Indiana, by J. E. Sherrill is a 
monthly in pamphlet form, containing about forty pages each issue, devoted to the art 
of teaching. It realizes what some of its contemporaries fail to do, that the newspaper 
is the only proper vehicle of educational netvs, as of all other kind of news, and devotes 
its space mainly to education-technics. In other words, it aims to be what its name 
implies, a '• normal teacher." — The Chicago Weekly Journal. 

•'Yesterday I received the October number of the long looked-for Normal Teacher, 
and I need not tell you that I immediately set about to devour its contents. And a 
Bweet morsel it was. I am intensely delighted with ' The Teacher. ' I am a regular 
reader of a number of first-class journals, but find this on par with the best of them. 
It contains food for all grades of teachers, and I shall most heartily recommend it to 
the fifty-two teachers under my supervision." • G. H. DESH. 

Supt. Public Schools, Allentown, Pa, 

Thousands of other notices equally complimentary could be given, but these are
